Manually overseeing every action in Claude Code can be time-consuming and prone to error. This Skill empowers you to automate tasks, validate actions, and inject context into Claude's workflow, ensuring safety, consistency, and efficiency without modifying core code.
git operations), auto-format code after edits, or inject project-specific context at session start.Bash commands executed by Claude to an audit file for compliance, or set up a prompt hook to prevent accidental force pushes to your main branch.To log all Bash commands, create a .claude/hooks.json file in your project. Inside, define a PreToolUse hook that matches "Bash" tools and executes a command to append the tool's command input to a log file.

Event-driven hooks let you intercept tool use before execution. Create a PreToolUse hook that matches specific tools (like Bash or Git), then execute validation logic or block commands that don't meet your criteria—such as preventing force pushes or destructive operations.
Hooks are event listeners that trigger custom shell commands or LLM prompts at key workflow moments: before/after tool use, session start, or user prompt submission. Use them to automate repetitive tasks, enforce safety policies, log actions for compliance, or inject project context without modifying core code.
Define a PreToolUse hook in `.claude/hooks.json` that matches the Bash tool and executes a command appending the tool input to an audit log file. The hook receives the command details and can write them to your compliance or audit trail before Claude executes the action.
Yes. Use SessionStart hooks to execute commands or prompts that load project configuration, environment variables, or custom guidelines at the beginning of each session, ensuring Claude operates with your team's standards and context automatically.
Hooks support approval workflows through blocking logic and manual intervention. Configure a PostToolUse hook to pause on sensitive operations, or use prompt-based hooks to require confirmation before destructive actions like git force pushes proceed.
Command-based hooks execute shell scripts for fast, deterministic automation like logging or file operations. Prompt-based hooks invoke Claude's reasoning to evaluate context, make decisions, or generate responses—useful for intelligent validation or dynamic policy enforcement.
